CR 2014-031 Approve Final Design Plans: Shady Oak Road Reconstruction (Excelsior Blvd. - Highway 7) Hennepin County Project 9112March 20, 2014 Council Report 2014-031 APPROVE FINAL DESIGN PLANS: SHADY OAK ROAD RECONSTRUCTION (Excelsior Boulevard — Highway 7) - HENNEPIN COUNTY PROJECT 9112 Proposed Action. Staff recommends the following motion: Move that Council adopt Resolution 2014-016, Resolution approving Shady Oak Road reconstruction final plans — Excelsior Boulevard to north of Highway 7 (Hennepin County Project 9112). This action authorizes the City and Hennepin County to proceed with approving the project construction cooperative agreement and Hennepin County to proceed to contract award. Overview. On March 20, 2012 City Council approved Shady Oak Road reconstruction preliminary plans, Layout #2 and on October 16, 2012 City Council approved the agreement for right of way acquisition. There have been no substantive changes to the design plan since the preliminary plan approval. City staff, Hennepin County personnel and representatives from its engineering consultant, WSB & Associates, Inc. will be present at the Council meeting to present the final design plans and answer questions. Primary Issues to Consider. • Design features • Shady Oak Pond wetland impacts • Construction phasing • Project costs/City funding • Project Schedule • Project Communications Plan Supporting Documents. • Proposed Resolution 2014-016 • Proposed final construction plan sheets Steven J. Stadler, Public Works Director Council Report 2014-031 Page 2 Analvsis of Issues • Design features The predominant design features include: - realignment of Shady Oak Road/Highway 7 intersection - new four lane divided roadway with turn lanes, undivided 5 -lane design south of Mainstreet to Bradford Road - pedestrian ways on both sides of new roadway, trail on east side, sidewalk on west side - New Mainstreet signalized intersection - Remove 1St St N connection to Shady Oak Road - Significant storm water management improvements including an outlet to Shady Oak Pond - Reduced risk of 2 d St N flooding after heavy rainfalls - Mainstreet entrance monument - Screen fencing and landscaped buffer areas used along single family residential areas (landscaping under separate contract) • Shady Oak Pond wetland impacts The Shady Oak pond was rated as a "high quality" wetland following the Minnesota Routine Assessment Method (MnRAM) as conducted by the project consultant based on its high aesthetics/recreational use and moderate wildlife habitat values. As such, the request to lower the water elevation was carefully scrutinized by the MN DNR, the watershed district and also the Technical Evaluation Panel (TEP). This panel is a group of representatives of various State, County and Watershed agencies that oversee water bodies, wetlands and requests to impact them. The TEP concurred that the proposed lowering of the water elevation would not diminish the wetland rating below the "high quality" rating. The wetland assessment and proposed impacts were approved by the MN DNR and the Nine Mile Creek Watershed District. Additionally, the surveyed depth along the west edge of the pond, out about 10' from the shoreline, averaged 3 feet. As such, the proposed lowering of the water level will not affect the value of the wetland nor will it result in noticeably less open water in the pond. The benefit, of course, is that we are able to store additional storm water and reduce the flood levels around the pond. • Construction Phasing The County has a detailed construction phasing plan that will be explained at the City Council Meeting. The roadway will remain open with restricted lanes Council Report 2014-031 Page 3 throughout construction. Generally, construction will proceed from the north area to the south, on alternating sides of the roadway to maintain traffic. The selected contractor may propose an alternative phasing plan, however that plan would be subject to County approval. • Project Costs/City Funding Current status of estimated city costs and funding for the Shady Oak Road Reconstruction project are as follows: Item Estimated city cost REAL ESTATE ...................................... $2,832,500 ROAD CONSTR + ENGRG/INSPECTION....... $350,000 ELECTRICALUNDERGROUNDING ...............$220,000* STREET LIGHTING.....................................$75,000** WEST PARK RD + 21ST AVE N .................... $190,000 (roadway only) UTILITIES ................................................ $490,000 LANDSCAPING ........................................ $100,000 TOTAL ................................................... $4,257,500 *Costs split with Minnetonka, Henn Cty pays 50% **Costs split with Minnetonka, Henn Cty pays 33% CITY FUNDING: MSA funds..............$3,577,500 PIR funds..................$150,000 Utility funds...............$430,000 Special Assessments ... $100,000 • Project Schedule April 1: Bid Opening May 21: Public Open House (notices mailed + notice in May Hopkins Highlights) Late May/early June: County awards contract June 2014: Construction start November 2015: Construction completed • Project Communications Plan A project mailing would go out in early May announcing the May 21 open house and include County website information and how to sign up for the project's email listserv.
